Dance is a social and integrative practice that connects people. We are passionate about dance and we endorse dance as an accessible healing practice for all. We believe that everybody can dance and that everyone has the capability to facilitate a dance and healing session.

Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a practice that integrates Authentic Movement (AM), Contact Improvisation (CI) and Passing Through (PT) with other profound practices such as qigong, yoga, healing modalities, principles of behaviourism and energy work, mindfulness, leadership skills, proprioceptive and exteroceptive senses, somatics and the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism. All of these practices are woven together to create a holistic integration of the Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit.

At the CBC Level 1 Course, Eline Vrancken will be guiding and holding space for the group and the processes. She is a CBC level 4 graduate and she is undertaking the path to become a CBC Level 1 teacher.
She has been successfully facilitating across the Netherlands, sharing CBC from her heart space.

CBC creates a safe space for each individual, one where you are able to express, trust and transform by honouring your personal boundaries and the boundaries of others.
The practice focuses on all our bodies, what in Greek is called SOMA - the integration of Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit. It is important to acquire an understanding of all the bodies to be capable of interpreting intentions, perceptions and insights, and acting through wisdom and love.

Our mission:
*To establish conscious dance practice as an all-inclusive heart-based practice for genuine connection, healing and spiritual development.
*To train facilitators in the CBC dance and healing practice, that can spread the value and importance of authentic human connection; for the individual, for the relationships and for the community.
